But are these really our only choices?

There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, author Cal Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work.

The Gospel of Christ Crucified offers a biblical reconstruction of the principal elements that make up the apostolic gospel. Assuming a first-century Jewish worldview, the apostles understood the death of Jesus primarily in sacrificial terms for the atonement of sins.

Un instant, j'ai voulu vous suivre, vous voir, respirer ce que j'aurais dû respirer. Mais je suis resté sur la pente. Et j'ai pleuré, pas fort non, mais ruisselant à l'intérieur.

Est-ce qu'on meurt d'amour ?
